Key Functions & Properties:
-
High Water Reduction: Significantly lowers water content (25-40%), dramatically increasing compressive strength and durability.
-
Excellent Workability Retention: Maintains desired slump and flowability over extended periods, ideal for hot climates and long haul times.
-
Low Dosage Efficiency: Delivers superior performance at minimal addition rates.
-
Versatile Compatibility: Can be tailored to control setting time, cohesion, and viscosity for specific project needs.
-
Enhanced Durability: Produces dense, low-permeability concrete with improved resistance to shrinkage, chloride ingress, and freeze-thaw cycles.
Primary Applications:
-
Ready-Mix Concrete: Ensures consistent workability from production to placement.
-
Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC): Provides the necessary fluidity and stability for perfect consolidation without vibration.
-
High-Strength/Performance Concrete (HSC/HPC): Critical for achieving very high strength and extreme durability.
-
Precast and Prestressed Concrete: Facilitates fast stripping times, early strength gain, and superior surface finish.
-
Pumping Aids: Improves pumpability by reducing friction and increasing flow.
-
Decorative and Architectural Concrete: Enhances surface quality and finishability
